Chapter 101 Soft and Hard

As soon as Shen Hao went out early in the morning, he heard about a case that happened last night.

"General Banner, the shopkeeper of Fushun Inn and a guest were stabbed to death by a waiter surnamed Wang in the inn. The waiter wiped his neck and committed suicide when the yamen servant arrived. It is said that the scene was very tragic."

"The waiter killed someone? Fushun Inn?"

"Well, maybe the waiter in the store has gone crazy or has some kind of illness, his brain is broken."

The guard told Shen Hao what he heard in the morning as gossip, but Shen Hao frowned. He really knew the shopkeeper of Fushun Inn and the waiter surnamed Wang, and he had only met him not long ago. They were both witnesses when Wen Renhai was arrested.

"Apart from the shopkeeper and waiter of Fushun Inn, who is the guest who died?"

"Well, it seems to be. By the way, it is the shopkeeper of a newly opened shop in the East Market. It seems to sell boots?"

Shen Hao frowned even deeper.

When he arrived at the guard, Shen Hao sent someone to the yamen to learn more about the case that happened at the Fushun Inn last night, and the news that came back confirmed his guess.

The three people who died last night were the shopkeeper of Fushun Inn, a waiter surnamed Wang, and the shopkeeper of the newly opened boot shop in the East Market. These three people happened to be witnesses in the Wen Renhai case, and their names were all in Hanging on the dossier, they are all dead now.

coincide? It can't be such a coincidence that the three people who died were all witnesses of the same case.

Deliberately killing witnesses to overturn the case?

This is impossible. Xuan Qingwei is not a local yamen, and the trial procedure is more brutal and arbitrary. Once it is written into the file, unless there is direct evidence that the case is false, the witnesses of the dead are not enough to reverse the case.

Even the external doubts Xuan Qingwei didn't need to pay attention to at all internally, and it was precisely because of this that there was a lack of supervision, and an internal investigation organization such as the Black Flag Camp was specially established.

Since it is not to overturn the case, why kill witnesses?

Shen Hao naturally connected the murder case last night with the invitation he received when he was on business. Although he didn't investigate, Shen Hao's intuition told him that the three witnesses were instigated by the mistress of the Wen family.

The reason, Shen Hao thought it was to vent his anger.

This unbelievable tyranny seems unreasonable, but in fact it makes sense. Looking at Wen Renhai's behavior style, one can see that the Wen family has accumulated perverse behavior for a long time. Human life is probably not as important as ants in their eyes. The difference is that if they are unhappy or displeasing to the eye, they will be shot to death. Anyway, the laws of the court will not apply to them.

At this moment, Shen Hao seemed to understand the connotation of Xuan Qingwei's official document, which was like a declaration of war.

Indeed, it is strange that there are such a group of people in the country who cling to it and do not suffer from "stubborn illness".

As for the murder case last night, there was nothing to be found. Shen Hao was sure that the Wen family must have used some special method to make the case look seamless. What's more, it was not suitable for Xuan Qingwei to intervene in such an "ordinary" case.

And looking at it from another angle, this operation of the Wen family is not a threat, it should be aimed at him, Shen Hao, because he just refused the other party's banquet yesterday.

But now it seems that it was right not to go, and most of them will fall into the pit if they go.

"Boom, boom, boom! President, President Chen is visiting."

Chen Tian asked?

Shen Hao: "Chen Zongqi, please come in."

Pushing open the door, Chen Tianwen walked in with a smile, cupped his hands towards Shen Hao, and then sat on the chair.

"Chen Zongqi is so free today?" Shen Hao stood up with a smile and made a cup of tea for Chen Tianwen himself and put it on the table.

"Where's the leisure, you know, there are so many miscellaneous things, if it's not really embarrassing, I won't bother you today."

"Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah. People from the Wen family came to look for me, and it was Qin Yurou, the hostess of the Wen family who came here. The face is too much for me not to come here. Tsk tsk, Shen Zongqi, I have to say that you are disturbing me now. Things are getting more and more exaggerated.”

"Qin Yurou came to look for you? Why did she look for you?"

"Why? It's not because I'm the closest to you. There are a lot of people in the guard, so they brought Qin Yurou to find me here. I'm not as stubborn as you, Mr. Shen, so I can only help others Let's go this way."

Chen Tian asked with a smile between words, while taking out a gift list from his pocket and putting it in front of Shen Hao, he said with a smile: "Look, the Wen family is generous enough this time, it depends on whether you, Mr. Shen, nod your head."

Shen Hao picked up the gift list on the table with a blank expression, and was also curious about how much the Wen family planned to spend to get his way.

Three Dapei Yuan Pills!

A mysterious-level kung fu method, including three types of skills of the same level!

A piece of inner armor of a medium-grade magic weapon!

One thousand taels of gold!

There were very few items on the gift list, but every item made Shen Hao's eyes widen.

From Shen Hao's point of view, the Small Pei Yuan Pill is still a scarce commodity, let alone the Great Pei Yuan Pill? He has never seen that stuff before, and it is said that its effect is more than ten times that of Xiao Pei Yuan Pill.

Mysterious-level exercises and mysterious techniques are also things that have a price but no market. Generally speaking, you can only spend a lot of money to try your luck in the auction house.

What made Shen Hao most envious was the medium-grade inner armor. This item is definitely an excellent trump card for life-saving at critical moments, and it is rare to find it for sale even in the auction house.

"Tsk tsk, it's indeed a big deal. But does the Wen family still have something to ask Chen Zongqi to bring over?"

"Yes, they only have one request, as long as President Shen sends the case to the Licheng Yamen for further processing, and the person will be transferred from Xuan Qingwei to the Yamen Dungeon for custody. The rest does not need President Shen to take care of it. As long as you agree, the gift list The things on the list will be delivered to you in the afternoon."

"Aren't they afraid that I'll renege on my debt?"

"Hehe, do you think the things from the Wen family are so good? They are not afraid of your refusal, but they are afraid that you will not accept them. As long as they accept things, there are ways to make you submit." Chen Tianwen curled his lips, and could see his influence on the Wen family. Not too good either.

Shen Hao flicked through the gift list, put it down at last, shook his head and said: "Everything is good, I really want it. Especially that set of inner armor, tsk tsk, it's a good thing that money can't buy! But it's too hot to touch. I can forget it."

If Shen Hao still had some thoughts of "letting him go if he can't do it" before, but now he doesn't have it at all.

As soon as the Wen family came to Licheng, they killed people to vent their anger. This style is extremely perverse. Is it because of the sudden wind blowing up from Xuan Qingwei that he is soft and giving generous gifts now? Once he is released, God knows how the Wen family will retaliate in the future.

Chen Tian asked Shen Hao to refuse, the smile on his face became stronger, he clapped his hands, got up and said: "Hey, if you don't accept the gift, my work will be considered finished. Be careful, the Wen family seems to be in a hurry , otherwise they won’t look down on you, remember to bring more people with you wherever you go.”

Before leaving, Chen Tianwen's words made Shen Hao sympathize, he didn't want to be intercepted halfway again.

Just as Chen Tianwen left here, the guard outside knocked on the door again, and brought in an order from the Thousand Households Office of Fengsun City.

When I opened it, it turned out to be Qianhu Jiang Cheng's own handwriting: Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to Qianhu's office to listen to the tune.
